Wedding in Venice || Irina and Aleksei

Friday, 22 April 2011

This was a very funny and vibrant wedding in Venice! Everything started with the preparations in the de luxe hotel Danieli. While the bridesmaids were scarfing down their healthy breakfast, the make-up artist was doing her magic on Irina’s face. Then we had a ride on the gondola down the venetian channels, the ceremony in the City Hall with an outstanding view on the Grand Canal, greetings from the near and dear and another graceful and romantic glide in the gondola up to San Marco square.

The family gave the newly-wed a huge bouquet of daisies, so all tourists watching us from the bridges could immidiately figure out that this wedding was a Russian one :) Then we took a break at the cafè in St. Marco square and sailed off in a yacht looking for new impressions. We reached the city park of Venice (finally some shade and coolth!) and then San Giorgio island and got back to the hotel where the fresh drinks, the wildberry cake and the spectacular view were waiting for us!
